This hotel is a very typical, fairly new Fairfield Inn & Suites. I was granted an upgrade to a suite, which was the typical Fairfield suite layout. The only real difference was NO FLATSCREENS. I guess you could say I am spoiled to the Marriott flatscreens. The pool is inside, and usually full of kids. However, the kids were not a bother here as I never noticed them, except in the pool. The hotel is located in the Midway Airport Hotel Center which has about six or seven hotels of different qualities in a very small space. There is a shuttle which will take you to the airport and presumably other nearby locations such as the "L" stations. The staff is friendly if not "just there". There is no market at this location so expect to walk across the parking lot to the Courtyard or TGIFriday's if you need a late night snack or drink. The business center consists of ONE computer so don't expect to use it very often. There is no view to speak of from any of the rooms, unless you like watching planes land. Speaking of planes, although the hotel is within shouting distance of MDW, I never heard an airplane from my room. Traffic on Cicero is horrible at times so don't expect to get anywhere fast. However, Giordano's is about 2 blocks away which is a nice little treat for this part of town. Also, a White Castle is 2 or 3 blocks away.

The bad news...my room had several spots of damage. The wall next to the computer chair had many tears in the wall paper, I guess from the chair bumping against the wall. The soap dish in the shower had mold all around the caulking. And, worst of all, my toilet stopped working on day two....but to the staffs credit, was fixed by the time I got home from work the next day. All in all, a nice hotel for the price, about $130 per night.

Hotels in Chicago are pricey, and I paid $115 to stay here (which was low if you wanted to be in a safe area & a clean place to stay). The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, extremely close to the airport (10 min, free, shuttle ride because the local hotels share the service), within walking distance to restaurants, internet worked great, relatively quiet. No complaints.

We chose the Fairfield for convenience to Midway Airport (10 minute drive) and an early a.m. flight. The Fairfield is located in a center of hotels (Marriott, Courtyard, Hilton Garden, Sleep Inn, and Hampton Inn) which share courtesy shuttles and a parking lot.

The FF was similar in price to the other hotels. They provided an outstanding complimentary (extended) breakfast. Good variety with all the basics. Freshly made waffles were a treat! The courtesy shuttle runs 24/7 to Midway. It was prompt and very convenient. The immediate vicinity of the hotel is sketchy so we used Midway Airport as access for the “El”. From Midway you can easily and cheaply get to downtown Chicago via public transportation and without having to pay city parking fees.

In our double bed room, we experienced clean and quiet accommodations. You may hear a rumble from an airplane, but you're virtually at the airport! It's really not bad at all. I happen to think my bed was extremely comfortable, better than other more expensive hotels we stayed in - best sleep on our trip. We didn’t go into the pool, but we saw it was very small – good for kids. Whirlpool was out of commission? The FF also provides guests with complimentary access to a PC w/Internet and printer for business purposes.

We were pleased with our stay at the Midway Fairfield.

The Hotel is nice, good breakfast for a delux contential.
They make you pay $10 per day just to park your car.
With $160 room rate, it ended up at $200 per day with parking and tax. Just too expensive for what you get.
